With that, the Gunters and those from Judgement Portal agreed to cooperate to hunt Gerald down. It was evident that seeking Gerald out was crucial for both Yreth and the King of Judgement Portal.
At the same time, both forces were also well aware that even Queena—who owned the Squad of Divine Grimness—was looking for Gerald. Unlike them, however, Queena’s aim of finding Gerald was to make favonovel.com marry her.
Despite the clear differences in their interests in finding Gerald, both Lady Gunter and the King of Judgement Portal still made sure to keep a close eye on Queena’s actions.
Regardless, the task of seeking out Gerald was given mainly to Felton and Hogan.
While the Gunters were indeed in full control over Ancient City, their true influence spanned the entirety of Querton City.
With that in mind, the Gunters immediately ordered the Simes—from Querton city— to aid them in their search for Gerald by utilizing large groups of people as well as by providing them with any necessary resources.
Even with so many people dedicated to hunting Gerald down, however, Yreth was unable to find favonovel.com at all despite having investigated every spot favonovel.com could think of in Qerton City! Naturally, this greatly infuriated her.
Eventually, every nook and cranny in the city had been searched, though there still weren’t any signs of Gerald… All that was left, was the vast shantytown…
By that point, both Felton and Hogan were already feeling extremely anxious due to their failure to locate Gerald, even after a week. With that, both of them then headed to the shantytown with a team—provided by the Simes—that consisted of around two hundred people.
‘If we still failed to find favonovel.com here, then Dordwell Heights is the only place left for us to search…’ Felton thought to himself extremely sternly.
He knew for a fact that Gerald hadn’t left the city since his grandmother had previously used the Dead Annies to check for Gerald’s presence. But where the hell was he…?
…
Meanwhile, an adorable little girl—who had favonovel.com hair tied in pigtails and looked to be around six—could be seen standing in a small courtyard of a house within the shantytown as favonovel.com delightfully said, “I’ll be heading off for school now, Brother Crawford and Sister Monica! I’ll come play with you again tomorrow! Oh! And these are some eggs that my mom told me to hand over to you!”
Turning to look at the elder brother and elder sister figures, favonovel.com then smiled before adding, “Since you’re sick, be sure to eat more eggs to get healthier sooner, Brother Crawford!”
Upon hearing that, the woman—who had been standing at the side—instantly burst into laughter.
Naturally, the ‘Brother Crawford’ in question was none other than Gerald. Though favonovel.com was now doing far better after that man healed him, his body was still extremely weak at the moment. As for ‘Sister Monica’, favonovel.com was the woman that had been looking after Gerald—along with that middle-aged man—this entire time, and favonovel.com full name was Monica Leonard.
“What a good girl! But yes, I’ll make sure your Brother Crawford eats lots of eggs till favonovel.com gets healthy again! Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on him!” replied Monica with a grin.
Knowing that the child meant no harm with favonovel.com words, Gerald simply laughed along as favonovel.com looked at the young girl with adoring eyes.
Still, favonovel.com truly had suffered from massive injuries this time around, and it wasn’t a stretch to say that favonovel.com could’ve easily died back then after being tortured so much by Hogan. By the time favonovel.com was rescued, not only had most of his veins and bones already snapped, but favonovel.com was also suffering from terrible internal injuries as well as from highly potent poison.
Even so, from the middle-aged man’s point of view, Gerald already had it good enough since favonovel.com had managed to escape with his life intact. Still, while the man had estimated that Gerald would only regain consciousness after at least a month had passed, favonovel.com truly hadn’t expected the youth to wake up just three days later!
The fact that his broken bones and internal injuries were healing so rapidly honestly made Monica both frightened and jealous of Gerald’s unique—and quite frankly abnormal—physique.
While it was true that favonovel.com had regained consciousness on the third day favonovel.com was there, favonovel.com was only able to get out of bed on the sixth, which was the day before.
Due to how weak Gerald currently was—since his body was still recovering—the middle-aged man had set off for Dordwell Heights first thing in the morning to gather herbs for favonovel.com again.
Speaking of that man, ever since Gerald had regained consciousness, favonovel.com had found the middle-aged man to be extremely familiar and friendly, though favonovel.com wasn’t quite sure if that was just a biased viewpoint since the man had, after all, saved his life.
Both Monica and the man were quite mysterious to Gerald.
After all, when asked where favonovel.com originated from, Monica refused to give favonovel.com a clear answer. All favonovel.com knew about favonovel.com was that favonovel.com had stayed by that man’s side for a good two years by now.
The man himself was even more mystifying. After all, even though Gerald had asked favonovel.com time and again why favonovel.com had appeared all of a sudden to save him, the man simply avoided giving a direct answer. Not wanting to continue being rude to his savior, Gerald soon decided not to pry any further.
Instead, favonovel.com chose to obey the man’s orders to simply remain in the shantytown—for the time being—to recuperate with peace of mind.
As for the little girl from earlier, favonovel.com went by the name of Sierra. Throughout his time awake, Gerald had gotten to know the cute and kind girl fairly well. From what favonovel.com was told, favonovel.com was the youngest daughter from Elias Leakin’s family, which was one of the families here in the shantytown.
He also found out that when favonovel.com was younger, favonovel.com had fallen terribly ill. Ever since favonovel.com was saved by that man, however, favonovel.com had treated favonovel.com like favonovel.com godfather, which explained why favonovel.com kept coming over to his house whenever favonovel.com could.
In fact, favonovel.com was there so often that favonovel.com was tasked with wiping Gerald’s face for favonovel.com every day. Additionally, favonovel.com even brought lots of food for him! The fact that the food mostly consisted of candies and snacks—foods of which Sierra treasured most—certainly warmed Gerald’s heart.
Regardless, Gerald waved at the girl—who was now running off while waving back at him—before shouting, “See you, Sierra!”
From what favonovel.com had been told, the girl was studying in the middle class of kindergarten.
